Each years in July the Lake District Hillwalking Club hosts a 30km hillwalk in the Maumtrasna Lough Nafooey area. GREC assists by providing radio contact along the route to the base control located in Finny. This is a full day event commencing at 7a.m. and finishing at 6p.m. Although not as demanding as the Maamturk walk, it still attracts quite a number of walkers from around Ireland, approx 60. GREC places checkpoints on the hills and halfway points and all communications on VHF go through base control. Refreshments are provided afterwards by the superb local organisers in the Finny community hall. |
